Rachel is the Operations Director of Fictive Pursuits, the company behind The History Quill, Fabled Planet, and The Niche Reader. She lives on the Essex coast with her husband and son.

Rachel joined Fictive Pursuits as a coordinator in 2020. She progressed to the role of Executive Editor of The History Quill in 2021, then Operations Director in 2022. Rachel oversees the running and development of Fictive Pursuits’ systems and services, and the management of its staff. She also looks after The History Quill’s editing services and group coaching programme.

If Rachel were stranded on a desert island, the two historical novels she would want with her are Dear Mrs Bird by AJ Pearce, for its warmth, wit and poignancy, and The Midnight Rose by Lucinda Riley (or any of her other novels, all of which are captivating and escapist).
